Coronary Disease
Hi Team,
One unfortunate day, I had little discomfort on left side of my chest. So i took my Bike alone and went to nearby Hospital.
The Doctor performed ECG and said that its an Heart attack, thats came as an shock to me but i was not feeling out of breath nor i was sweating or any other heart attack symptons. Anyways i called my family and in the mean time the pain went away. However the Doctor's were insisting to pay Rs. 2.5 lac for heart surgery and said if its not done within 45 min ill die.
I told my family to take me to a heart Specialist Hospital, the doctor looked into the report and performed ECG and found out nothing. However he said i dont have to go Heart surgery but to perform Angiogram. Soon after the test i was sent home with medicines.
However the mental stress and shock which i have gone through has now changed my life.
I am in Great Depression and feels like ill die everyday and any minor pain also leads me to anxiety and hypertenaion where i feel like ill fall

Shortness of breath
Having shortness of breath which is constant through out the day now a days and very noticeable at night time especially before sleeping. Sometimes I caught cramp on my chest while breathing very hard. I do excercise minimum 3 days a week ( high intensity for an hour such as yoga and Zumba) though that time also I run out of breath and always get cramp / stich on my chest but ignore thinking it's normal. Around 10 years ago I was detected asthma ( heavy coughing and sneezing especially early morning and night ) my doctor said it's asthma due to dust / pollution and was using cipla pump . In between I went to abroad for 3 years and I did not show any coughing or sneezing symptoms and now stopped using the pump. However now I get shortness of breath and feel tight on my chest sometimes I get cramp ( being back to India). This i belive makes me feel fatigue, tired and puts me in discomfort. So now I am confused what should I get checked for and should I start with my GP Doctor.

Night dress
Hello Doctor,
I am a 23-year-old male. I have a few questions regarding the best sleeping clothes for genital health.
I usually have normal erections during the night or when I wake up, and sometimes I notice a small amount of clear pre-ejaculate (precum), which I understand is normal. Because of this, I do not feel comfortable sleeping without underwear.
I also cannot wear loose boxer shorts or joggers because they are uncomfortable for me and do not provide enough support. I prefer well-fitting cotton trunks or joggers with bikini-style underwear. Another issue is that my scrotum sweats easily. When I walk or when the weather is hot, the skin of my scrotum rubs against my thighs, sometimes becomes red, and feels irritated. I would like to reduce sweating, friction, and discomfort while sleeping.
I have my own room, but I am not comfortable sleeping completely nude.
i have option joggers with underwear bikini style or only trunk underwear.

Concern About Digestive, Neurological, a
My daughter develops several symptoms after eating, especially after consuming oily or fatty foods. The symptoms usually include:
Stomach and body bloating
Abdominal discomfort or pain
White vaginal discharge
Brain fog and difficulty thinking clearly
Mood swings, irritability, and anger
Tingling sensations throughout the body
Dull-looking face with dark circles under the eyes
Dark pigmentation around the mouth
Slouched posture
Limbs appearing curled up or stiff
Knock knees
Reduced concentration and mental clarity
These symptoms seem to worsen after oily meals. I would like to know what conditions could cause this combination of digestive, neurological, mood-related, and physical symptoms, and what investigations or tests may be needed. Could this be related to food intolerance, nutrient deficiencies, digestive disorders, hormonal issues, or another underlying medical condition?

Hip Labrum Tear
I am reaching out because I have recently been diagnosed with a hip labral tear, and I am seeking your expert guidance, medical suggestions, and a comprehensive treatment plan to help me manage the persistent pain and safely restore my mobility. The discomfort in my groin and deep within my hip joint has significantly impacted my daily routine, making regular activities, prolonged sitting, and exercise increasingly difficult to tolerate. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations on whether we should initialy focus on conservative management—such as targeted physical therapy to strengthen my surrounding stabilizing muscles, activity modifications, and anti-inflammatory options—or if my specific imaging suggests that surgical intervention is a more viable long-term solution. Please let me know what next steps, diagnostic reviews, or lifestyle adjustments you recommend so that I can reduce this joint irritation and effectively begin my recovery process under your care.

Pain while drinking water
Hello Doctor,
I am having pain while swallowing food and even while drinking water for some time. I have already undergone tests like endoscopy (UGIE), HRM/manometry, CT thorax and gastric emptying study. Endoscopy and CT were normal, but manometry showed ineffective esophageal motility. I also have a history of reflux/GERD and hypothyroidism.
Currently my main symptoms are:
Pain while swallowing food
Pain while drinking water
Mild throat/chest discomfort and anxiety due to pain
No vomiting, no breathing problem, and bowel movements are normal.
Recently I also noticed a small painful lump/swelling below the ear/upper neck area.
Current medicines:
Thyroxine
Itopride
Antacid/alginate syrup
BP medicine (Telmisartan)
Please suggest what could be the possible cause and what further evaluation or treatment is needed.

Gastric Issues
Hello Doctor,
I have been taking Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg at night for the past 3 months for anxiety and mild depression. Mentally, I am feeling much better.
However, I am facing some issues:
* Irregular bowel movements: frequent loose or semi-loose stools, sometimes normal. Urge to pass stool after eating.
* Anal itching/discomfort: constant itching and irritation in the anal area.
* Daytime drowsiness: difficulty waking up before 10–11 AM even after adequate sleep.
* Weight gain over the past few weeks.
I have attached a stool image for reference.
My questions:
1. Are these side effects of Paroxetine?
2. Should I change dose/timing or switch medicine?
3. Can I take probiotics for gut health?
4. Do I need any tests?
5. How to manage drowsiness and weight gain?
Please suggest treatment or lifestyle changes.
Thank you.
